Chapter 38:Winning a bet against the Legendary Sucker(4)

On the fifth day, Sasuke was harnessing the chakra of Kurama while meditating to manifest Senjutsu chakra.

Difference for today however, he was using in absence of his normal chakra.

Sasuke took Kurama chakra from Naruto, who had yang side of the original.

Considering you need yang chakra to use medical ninjutsu, in theory if he use Kurama (yang) chakra without being diluted by his chakra, supposedly not sufficient at converting into yang chakra, he might get a shot at succeeding with Senjutsu chakra to strengthen and speed up the process.

Of course, he was doing it around 2am as explaining to Kakashi how he got Kurama going to be a hassle, and might even ruin image to others.

'Though calling mystical palm technique A rank jutsu is quite misleading.' Sasuke sighed at Tsunade's supposed pettiness, learning he would win the bet if he was able to use it for straight 5 seconds.

Not 1 minute, just 5 seconds!

Sasuke knew it was done out of necessity rather than pity after several failed attempts for the past 4 days.

At first glance at medical ninjutsu in fandom and fanfic, anyone would think it would be easy and blame 3rd Hokage and elder council for not having medical-nin despite Tsunade strong suggestion during 2nd world war were there would had plentiful resources to put, until you personally see barrier of entry.

Mystical palm technique does not end all be all of medical Ninjutsu despite how it was demonstrated.

In simplest terms, it will increase regeneration of cells in the place the wound was inflicted.

It same applies to undesirable cells that were present however, they would worsen patients' condition.

It includes poison, allergies, cancer cells etc.

And it doesn't do anything against diseases a patient has.

So medical-nin had to learn tons of knowledge so that able to recognise and understand the disease and treat it with ingredients available to you and in the environment and shops, and treat them similar to medical doctors in ancient times such as China and India or in advance.

In times where mythical plan technique is needed to heal them such as during surgery, extreme precision is crucial, where they have to be careful to use it on correct cells over harmful cells.

This is precisely why Tsunade created 3 rules medical-nins must obey, as their combat capability would decline considerably while honing medical knowledge.

At last, duration to maintain is important as using to heal for 30 minutes is better than using the jutsu multiple times to get same duration, hence duration is indicator of

proficiency of use.

While thinking about medical ninjutsu, his thoughts unexpectedly drifted to the root.

'If Danzo wasn't that extreme in ideas and actually thought of making a powerful and well functioning hidden organisation, he would treasure Nono Yakushi and Kabuto Yakushi similarity to Fū and Torune.'

And another thought popped up in his mind.

Why cause massacre and decrease the manpower of the village rather than indoctrinating them to Shinsui level?

Sasuke understood why he and alongside others 3 wanted Elite Uchiha to be dead as they won't listen to the elder council but why he even included Uchiha civilians children and children of the elite Uchuha who would be easier to indoctrinate and imprint blind loyalty for the 'village'?

If they are able to imprint their 'will of fire' on Shisui and Itachi, why not on others?

Or his and their hate towards Uchiha was so great that they preferred a ethnic cleanse?

He was curious whether Kumogakure and others did attack Konoha at one point, after hearing of the death of one of their strongest clans.

He was also curious why didn't Obito didn't attack Konoha when he was controlling the 4th Mizukage.

***

While Sasuke was trying his best to perform mystical palm technique in his room, in the distance, Tsunade was observing him outside the inn, in the forest no one came by.

'Why does....he felt familiar?' She thought, feeling as if a fragment of her grandparents was here thanks to Sasuke utilising senjutsu and Kurama chakra that was available to her respective grandparents, who showed her unintentionally during her early life.

However she was not a sensor type, so she couldn't figure out the mystery of Sasuke, who was from a clan his grand uncle hated the most.

Initially she thought Sasuke was the illegitimate heir of Fugaku that Itachi didn't know, having no personality characteristic of Uchiha his grand uncle described supposedly due to not being raised in the Uchiha compound.

Or else why didn't Itachi kill him if he killed every Uchiha child?

'I supposed going back to the village will help me understand what actually happened in the massacre.'

She lamented that she had to go back to the village.

It was a village she no longer thought worth staying, seeing it ruined by her grand uncle's disciples.

'He is most probably regretting in his afterlife for choosing the wrong people.'

Even then, she didn't have interest in being Hokage despite her lineage and ability to get rid of their positions; she was a healer not a leader of some sorts who was able to judge others competency.

She respected the position despite how low she viewed it, believing it should go to someone more capable rather than to old folks who only cared for their interest.

Also, she feared to become the very same old folks she dreads, admitting they were once seem fine people until around 2nd world war, where they began to prioritise their own interest.

"So Lady Tsunade, may I spare some words?"

Kakashi out of the blue appeared behind Tsunade, while holding Raijin no Ken on his left arm.

Tsunade instinctively wished to question Kakashi after seeing his grand uncle's blade, but dismissed it, thinking her sensei sent it to appease her like always.

"Speak, I don't have all day." Tsunade said, shrugging off the spook she felt earlier.

"Do you know why Uzushiogakure

perished ?" Kakashi said ominously, while caressing Raijin no Ken.

Before Tsunade responds after Kakashi's abrupt question, Raijin no Ken glows purple and spews out purple lightning that almost hits her forehead.

'Are you doing a Kamikaze attack!'

Both of them were soon engulfed in purple light coming from the blade, where images began to appear.

"Best way to say it is to show it." Kakashi murmured while using a secret feature he found out about the sword.

--------------

Capability ranking of a shinobi(which I forget to mentioned in earlier chapter, so thought of addressing it here in case older readers didn't seen the auxiliary chapter):

·Chūnin(-D)

·Jōnin(C)

·Elite Jōnin(B-)

·Quasi Kage(B+)

·Semi Kage(A-)

·Kage(Low)(A)

·Kage(Mid)(A+)

·Kage(Elite)(-S)

Capability gap of each rank is larger than the other where the gap between Chūnin and Kage(Low) is smaller than the gap between Quasi Kage and Kage(Low).

Capability=Raw stats+ Experience+ Ability+ Jutsu arsenal+Weapon+additional stats from a state( from Sage mode,Jinchūriki modes etc)
